Review: Teckin Smart Plugs. Budget smart home with Amazon Alexa & Google Home support.

Today I’m looking at some inexpensive smart plugs from Amazon, that enable you to use voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Home to control whatever’s plugged into them.
So if I have a lamp plugged in, I can say “Alexa, turn on the lamp”.

You can plug pretty much whatever you like into them. As well as lamps, I’ve got heaters, dehumidifiers and fans plugged into mine.

The plugs connect to your WiFi network so you don’t need any additional hubs, and once set up they can be controlled even when you are out and about, using your mobile phone’s data connection.

So you could turn on a lamp when you’re going to get home late as a security measure perhaps, or check you haven’t left a heater on by mistake.

You can combine multiple devices into groups to control them all with a single voice command, and you can even check energy usage in real time, of anything plugged into them.
